Eg Tesla, and I am sorry to have to say it but with the current president anything seems to go at the drop of a whim. I would not buy a car made in the USA.

Which is good as I occasionally organise group outings to a play or similar. People pay me the cost of their ticket. I do, sometimes, profit as some theatres will give (me) a free ticket if I buy more than 10 or so -- but that is not why I do it.

with me when I next go out burglaring then!

Does anyone know what permissions on your 'phone the app will require ? Eg: access to your contacts which will let Ryan Air work out who your friends are. This sort of thing is my primary reason for not liking this.

And pay the price of a parcel for a letter. How much will that cost you ?

Yes but we will need people who will tell us the truth about what they see, not what they would like to see or what they think those listening would like to believe.

Sad to say but these days that is a real possibility.

Why do we, a supposedly intelligent species, make war rather than cooperate ? If you think that I am naive - please explain.

and his push for coal quite so much if the pollution so caused would stay within the borders of the USA so that only Americans suffer climate and health problems caused by the orange idiot's stupidity. Unfortunately this is fantasy: we all share this planet and it's atmosphere so we all suffer pollution elsewhere.

need do nothing more. They appear to have outsourced the problem to Microsoft.

Those are problems of yesteryear. Yes: you can still find examples but by and large plug and play just works.

It depends on who's you are talking about, not all users have the same requirements.

Most home users just want to do a little word processing and use the web - the web is how they access email - Linux has been able to support that perfectly for over a decade; the users will never need to use the command line. Other things like music playing and picture editing work well as well. Yes the user will need to do a bit of learning but that is quickly done.

Corporate office environments often have specific requirements but a high proportion will work nicely. I have news for you: you do not need to achieve 100% transition; pick the low hanging fruit and migrate harder ones later, some never will move.

All computer systems can be hard so you will need access to someone who can get under the hood. This is true for Linux, MS Windows, Mac or anything else. It is true for home and office use. So find someone. I support several like this, few issues - the last one was "I have forgotten my password", a universal problem.

The hard part of a move to Linux is doing it for the first time. Once done and the fear of the unknown has been conquered it all becomes much easier.

The car owners could be out of pocket for all sorts of reasons; will they be paid ?

* Did not get to the theatre, so unused tickets - not just the owner but others in the car.
* Missed a flight, so:
** booked & paid for hotel accommodation lost
** missed cruise ship leaving port
** missed your 60th birthday party to which 100 friends attended, most having travelled a long way, stayed in hotels, ...
* frozen food spoiled as it thawed on the way back from the shop
* 5 y/old daughter stranded at school, she was traumatised, money will not help - what will they do ?
* missed a child's wedding, how do they compensate ?

Jeep will do its best to avoid any compensation and will not pay anything to third parties who lost because of their blunder.

When you wrote the fossils were you referring to the fuel type or the car drivers ?

The sound of cards, clothes pins & wheel spokes will come for free - as standard. If you want it to sound like a V8 you will have to pay an upgrade fee -- prolly annually.
